Corners Continued...

Today's focus is on the rest of the corner braces. REALLY feeling tired today - this is the fourth day in a row out here (plus an overnight trip to PA for the funeral) so I felt wiped out even before I got started this morning. Progress was good though, but I ran out of bracing wire so the last three corner assemblies will get their wire next weekend. Shannon stopped by with my mom to check on progress. Of course it always seems that when she pulls up I'm doing something stupid. In this case I had just climbed into the bucket of the tractor and was standing up drilling holes in the top of the posts. I figured that was easier than moving a ladder around everywhere - the bucket works out nicely cuz you can walk sideways in it to get from one end of the brace post to the other. :)

But I have to say - by the end of the day I was so exhausted I could hardly lift up the bracing posts to install them on the pins. Think I'm going to sleep pretty well tonight! So next weekend should see the end of the post/bracing construction. I just have to put in the bracing wire on the three corners, brace the gate posts, then assemble the gate and it will be time to start putting up the netting!
